After my recent multiple removal/installation of the overdrive and
gearbox on my TR4 to solve oil leaks, I decided to have a proper oil
pressure gauge set (equal to Churchill no. L.188) made up for future
use, to bench test the A type OD/GBX before installation if I ever do
this again.
Anyway, a local machine shop made a custom steel fitting for me,
incorporating the operating valve plug and 1/4" NPT female threads into
one piece. This special adapter, which replaces the operating valve
plug, plus a little plumbing and a 0-600 psi liquid filled pressure
gauge, make up the tool. Although the cost of my one-off example was
somewhat greater, if there is enough interest (20 sets - seems like a
lot to me), I can supply this gauge setup for $ 70.00 + shipping. The
economies of scale will mainly drive down the machine shop costs.
Pls let me know if you want one of these gauge sets and if there are 20
people who do, I'll have them made up.
